Volunteers Needed 

Volunteers needed! Our ward has been asked to help the South Sudanese branch in their primary throughout the month of September. They are in need of a pianist and 3 people to sit with teachers each week. If you can help, please meet Sis Loertscher in the south foyer at 1:50. The lessons will be taught by the stake primary so no need to prepare a lesson. Their primary meets from 1:55-3:00 o'clock. You're welcome to help one week or multiple weeks. All sisters and brothers are welcome to help, the children speak English in the branch.

Relief Society Announcements

Sunday's lesson is from the conference talk, "God Among Us", by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, and will be taught by Sue Jorgensen.

Thank you to all you wonderful sisters who have been helping to tie the fleece blankets, and for coming out to our Relief Society activity last week.  It was so much fun spending time together and getting to know each other a little better than we did before.  We have activities every third Wednesday of the month, and we invite each and every one of you, along with your friends and neighbors, to come join us!

If possible, please watch the Face to Face broadcast with Elder & Sister Bednar on the ChurchofJesusChrist.org website. It shows a great pattern of listening to the Spirit and would be beneficial in how we watch and learn from the upcoming General Conference.

Leadership Message

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It is sad to see and hear about all the fires that have swept through the Western United States.  I am grateful for all the brave firefighters risking their lives to help contain all these fires. The Northern America Wildfire season has seen more fires this year than any other recordable year.  I look forward to the time when we can breathe fresh air instead of the smoke.  How is the spiritual air we
are breathing? Are we constantly putting out spiritual fires?  Lehi saw a vision of the Tree of Life, which is a representation of our times.  In the Tree of Life allegory, there is a “mist of darkness” around us which represents temptation.  To avoid the temptation and all the smoke around us we are to “hold to the rod” to make it to the Tree of Life.  We have a wonderful opportunity to “hold to the rod” by listening and watching General Conference.  It is coming up Oct 2-3rd. By listening and applying Prophets’ and Apostles’ teachings we are holding to the rod. It will help us with whatever temptation is present to each individual. Listening to and watching General Conference will help us breathe spiritual clean air and help put out spiritual fires in our lives.

With lots of love,
Brother Clayton Cox
